An online debate over foreign workers in tech shows tensions in Trump's political coalitionWorld champion Kyren Wilson shrugged off a headache and concerns over the speed of the tables to sweep past Stephen Maguire 6-0 in the first round of the UK Championship. Wilson dominated what had been a scrappy afternoon session at the Barbican Centre in York to take a 4-0 lead – with neither player able to build a half-century break. After the interval Wilson – who has won two ranking titles already this season – finally found some rhythm as a run of 71 put him within a frame of victory. 6-0! 🤯 World Champ Kyren Wilson is into the second round of the @VictorianPlumb UK Championship after a whitewash victory over Stephen Maguire. #VPUKChampionship pic.twitter.com/faJR3EDbSF — WST (@WeAreWST) November 25, 2024 After Maguire, who won the 2004 UK Championship title, missed another chance to build a response, Wilson, already 27 in front, took the opportunity to clear up to the pink. Wilson, second in the current world standings, avoided becoming another seed to suffer an early exit with Ronnie O’Sullivan and Mark Selby both having failed to progress. “It was a strange match,” Wilson said afterwards to the BBC. “Early doors both of us were going into the pack, not really landing on a ball and having to play safe. “For me the table was so difficult to judge. I don’t know if that was what was wrong with Stephen today. “I felt if you were playing it slow, it was drifting to the right. “When you have to start hitting the balls a bit harder on these tables, the pockets are just so unforgiving that it makes the game harder. “I just had to stay composed. I felt amazing in my game, but it was not just quite clicking today.” Wilson also revealed he has been struggling with a headache. “I woke up with it again today,” he said. “Going out for the first frame, there is so much intensity, your heart is racing, the lights are quite different and it was so warm – I just felt like my head was going to explode. “So I had to get out of there and just take some more painkillers, but it is not too bad now.” Maguire, meanwhile, was downbeat after “one of the worst performances ever”. He said: “It was rubbish, nothing else I can say, just garbage. “It was a hard one to take. You just go home and see what the next day brings. “You can’t explain that. It was one of the worse performances ever. I am struggling to believe how bad that was.” WAKELIN BATTLES THROUGH! 🔥 He beats Matt Selt 6-4 in a fragmented affair in York – he plays Kyren Wilson next. #VPUKChampionship | @Victorianplumb pic.twitter.com/7C2Fz0kAVi — WST (@WeAreWST) November 25, 2024 There was a closer contest on the other table, where Chris Wakelin battled past Matthew Selt 6-4 to secure his place in the last 16 against Wilson. Wakelin, the 15th seed, had been 2-0 down before making a break of 75 in the third frame, which was followed by 68 from Selt. The match remained a tight affair, with neither player able to craft another half-century as it was locked at 4-4. After Selt looked set in the ninth frame, a missed black to the bottom corner proved costly as Wakelin came from behind to win 65-55 – and take the lead for the first time. Further breaks of 31 and 32 – as well as being helped by a doubled yellow – left Selt needing snookers before Wakelin eventually clipped in the brown to secure a hard-earned victory. In Monday’s evening session, qualifier Michael Holt pulled off another upset with a 6-1 win over 10th seed Gary Wilson. Holt – who came through four preliminary rounds in Leicester to reach the main draw – dug in to build a 4-1 lead, which he extended with a superb 95 clearance. The seventh frame, though, proved a tense affair as both men failed to make the most of promising positions – Holt snookering himself after potting the brown with only three other colours left. The world number 98, though, then clipped in a long pink to seal a memorable victory, reaching the last 16 of the tournament for the first time since 1999. THE SILENT ASSASSIN IS THROUGH! 💪 Jak Jones defeats Luca Brecel in a tight decider to reach the Last 16! #VPUKChampionship | @Victorianplumb pic.twitter.com/AnHwkL2xyA — WST (@WeAreWST) November 25, 2024 On the other table, Welshman Jak Jones reeled off three successive frames to stun former world champion Luca Brecel 6-5. Brecel, who has struggled for form since winning the world title in 2023, led 42-0 in the decider, but a missed red allowed Jones his chance. And the 2024 world championship runner-up took it superbly, compiling a 66 break that left Brecel with too much to do as he moved into the last-16.A controversial right-wing populist TikTok star is leading in polls to be the next Romanian president, with views that could spell trouble for NATO and support for Ukraine . Romania witnessed the greatest electoral upset since emerging from communist rule in 1989 on Sunday, when Călin Georgescu, 62, running without a party, came in first in the first round of elections with 22.9% of the vote. His rise blindsided the entire Romanian political scene, especially as he hadn't participated in any debates, didn't register significantly in opinion polls, and didn't belong to a party, something almost unheard of in Romanian politics. Georgescu has expressed several controversial views, especially those involving Romania's history. He described as "heroes" Corneliu Zelea Codreanu, founder of the syncretic fascist Iron Guard, and Ion Antonescu, leader of Romania during World War II and ally of Nazi Germany. Particularly notable are his views on NATO, Russia, and Ukraine. In interviews, Georgescu said that Romania wasn't ready to independently handle diplomacy and strategy and should instead rely on "Russian wisdom," the Guardian reported . Local media reported that he has praised Russian President Vladimir Putin as “a man who loves his country” and called Ukraine “an invented state,” a line frequently used by Putin and the Russian state. In an interview with a pro-Russian media outlet in April 2021, he said that events in Ukraine were being "manipulated" by the United States military-industrial complex and other Western financial interests. Georgescu has criticized the establishment of a NATO missile defense system at the Deveselu Military Base, one of Putin's main contentions before the invasion of Ukraine. He hinted in a post-election speech that the favorable election results were partly due to his stance on Ukraine aid. “Tonight, the Romanian people cried out for peace. And they shouted very loudly, extremely loudly,” he said on Sunday night. “We are strong and brave, many of us voted, and even more will do so in the second round.” Despite his statements favorable to Russia and negative to Ukraine, Georgescu has denied that he's explicitly pro-Russia or supports it in its war with Ukraine. As no candidate won more than 50% of the vote, a second round of elections will be held on Dec. 8. Former journalist Elena Lasconi, running as part of the liberal Save Romania Union, came in second place with 19.2%. She has stressed more support for NATO if elected and is generally considered a left-wing figure. Georgescu has made a number of other controversial statements, including a podcast in 2024 that denied the COVID-19 virus existed, and “the only real science is Jesus Christ.” He has frequently stressed his Orthodox Christian faith in one of the most religious countries in Europe. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER His campaign was dominated by claims that the U.S. and European Union were exploiting Romania by undercutting its economy, something that could sour relations if he were to be elected. Romania is situated in a strategically vital position in the current Russia-Ukraine War, bordering Ukraine and the Black Sea.

A role reversal doomed the No. 22 Xavier Musketeers in their only loss of the season, against Michigan at the Fort Myers Tip-Off on Wednesday. Normally a team that avoids committing turnovers and pressures its opponent into making them, Xavier (6-1) will try to recapture its early-season winning form when it hosts South Carolina State on Sunday in Cincinnati. Through their six wins, the Musketeers had just 58 turnovers while forcing 82 by their opponents. But against the Wolverines, they lost the turnover battle 19-10 and the game 78-53. The Musketeers committed 14 turnovers in the first half and fell behind 41-30. Xavier head coach Sean Miller credited his team for typically playing an up-tempo style while avoiding mistakes, while also acknowledging that the turnover bug really bit them against the Wolverines. "We lost to a really good team; no shame in that," Miller said. "We, on top of that, didn't play well." "And that (avoiding turnovers) is something you (usually) do well? That's going to be hard to overcome against a quality team like Michigan." Leading scorer Ryan Conwell (17.6 points per game) gave the Musketeers a boost with 19 points. Zach Freemantle, second on the team at 15.4 ppg, added 14 points and 10 rebounds. Problematically, however, they also contributed to the turnover problem with three apiece. "We didn't play well enough to win the game," Miller said. "The game got out of hand. It's not like our guys quit. Their depth just continued to wear on us." The Musketeers also get 11 points and a team-high 4.4 assists per game from Dayvion McKnight. The guard had just one turnover against Michigan, but he also made just one of his eight shot attempts. Xavier may have an opportunity get right in the turnover area against the Bulldogs (4-4), who are No. 207 in the NCAA in assist-to-turnover ratio at 1.11. South Carolina State is fresh off an 82-53 road loss to Marshall on Wednesday, in a game in which turnovers weren't a huge problem. But assists and made shots were hard to come by for the Bulldogs. Leading scorer Drayton Jones (12.0 ppg) again paced his team in points with 10 vs. Marshall, but the Bulldogs as a team managed just six assists and shot terribly at the 3-point (18.8 percent) and the free-throw (47.1 percent) lines. Jones is also the team's leading rebounder with 5.1 a game, but no Bulldogs player is averaging more than two assists. It's all part of the learning process for coach Erik Martin, whose first team went 5-26 in 2022-23. The Bulldogs improved to 14-18 last season, including 9-5 in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. "The only way you can grow sometimes is by failure or by struggling," Martin said this offseason. "You have to fail in order to learn how to deal with failure and move on and become the person you're supposed to be." --Field Level Media
